Minor Character

Famous quotes containing the words minor and/or character:

“There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)

“The true index of a man’s character is the health of his wife.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
